About

The University of Mary exists to serve the religious, academic, and cultural needs of the people in this region and beyond. It takes its tone from the commitment of the Sisters of Annunciation Monastery. These Sisters founded the university in 1959 and continue to sponsor it today. It is Christian, it is Catholic, and it is Benedictine.

Known for academic excellence, the University of Mary offers students in North Dakota and around the globe an affordable, private, Catholic college education that prepares graduates to be leaders in the service of Truth. Whether you are an undergraduate pursuing your bachelor s degree, or a graduate student pursuing your master s or doctorate, Mary offers values-based, professionally focused academic programs grounded in the liberal arts, servant leadership, and robust experiential learning opportunities. Accelerated programs for the adult student are offered 100% online or in the evenings at one of our locations in North Dakota including Bismarck, Fargo, Grand Forks, and Watford City.
